New canine addition for the holiday

[RamAirDave]

I grew up with shelter-mutts (affectionate term absolutely) and dachshunds.

I love the weiner-dogs to death, but they're hell on (short) wheels. I can't even imagine mixed with a JR.

Cute pup, good luck

First snow for the pup. He can't quite figure out the stuff.




He seems to like the taste, though:




He eventually got the hang of running around in/on the stuff.
He's got the acceleration thing down.
The stopping thing is a whole other matter.

Here's his version of WHEN GOOD PETS GO BAD: WHEN PUPS ATTACK!

This was half-a-second before he sailed right off the porch and into the snow...

I have a Sheltie and a rescue black lab the lab I have had fro three years now and every time it rains he get really upset have been working on that and I am NOT giving up on him then I have my baby the sheltie
Shelties are very smart When I first t got her she would not come to me then I had my accident at work which Now I am on disability and now she will not leave my side and late at night some time I am in a lot of pain she some how knows I can be in bed and in pain when she will give me a little kiss as to say she is here for me I have had other dogs in my life but shelties are special and very lovable dogs and this dog has melted my heart
The only problem with shelties is they are barkers and loud I all most lost her this past March she got some kind of infection and needed surgery when they opened her up a girl for the hospitable called me and said she was not going to make it
I have to tell you that felt like having your heart pull out of you she loved me so much and has all ways been here for me a 1/2 hour later the surgeon called me and told me what happen and that she was NOW in recovery and gave her 85 % chance to make it though the night when I asked him what the girl told me he said that He has a habit to pushing the envelop and he was 98% sure he got all the poison out of her system
well that was nine months ago and she is doing great she is here with me as I am typing this and she still worries like I said she is always by my side no matter what room I am in She did cost me a lot of money but I love her to much not to try to save her funny thing is when I was young I was not in to dogs but this little sheltie melted my heart [image][/image]

Here is a dog's entertainment fantasy. Just hanging out by the fireplace for hours on end:



And when the fire goes out, he can always hang out with the "undesirables" at the electric heater.

A little update on the little guy.

He hasn't really grown much. He has gained a pound. He weighs around 7.8 pounds now and has all his adult teeth. Doesn't look like he's gonna get much bigger than this.

He definitely has the attitude of a much larger dog though. Here is his opinion of the latest in dog-training celebrities:

Today it was about 65 degrees in New Jersey. All the snow melted and I spent an hour and a half doing the "poop walk" collecting all the canine gifts from the past three months. The dogs really enjoyed the day outside...and the mud.
